A Call From My Yoga Teacher

My yoga teacher called me yesterday. She said: "I want you to help me learn a headstand".

This is the version I do (though I sometimes lift with straight legs for an added challenge)



This is more advanced than what I do; when I do the straight legged lift I don't do it from a straddle.



Nevertheless I am excited. The last time my teacher tried a headstand she bent way over like this:


And then put the crown of her head on the ground. The spotter's job was to stand in front of her (her back to you) and then move her hips and butt toward vertical; in other words I will be putting my hands on her ass!

I am motivated...

Sometimes, it does get better

I admit that I was a bit grumpy on the drive back home. We had a bit of a hard time finding an air station in Muskogee, Oklahoma (the first two we tried were broken) and we went through a 50 degree (F) drop in temperature.

Even worse, my wife hogged the radio/CD player; basically we listened to what she wanted to listen to.

Besides, my wife has had a few minor health issues and her medications have lowered her libido. Her weight gain, while unsightly, didn't lower mine. :-)

Nevertheless, by the time we got back home, I was both irritated and horny at the same time; heck I was all but willing to call up my yoga teacher.

No, my yoga teacher is no spring chicken and she is, well, just a bit "squatty". But she is far more physical that my wife and she can kick her leg over her head.

So what if she is a total dumb-ass who thinks that houses can actually be haunted and she actually thought that Sarah Palin was a GOOD CHOICE for VP (good, for Obama-Biden!).

But she is good about bending over a lot and sticking out her ass, so she would do.

Fortunately, it never came to that. My wife said yes to my offer, it was a ton of fun, and she let me have the TV during the NFL play-offs.

And, I still have 8 days prior to school starting, so there is no reason I can't get a flying start on research and learn this new (to me) software package.
